SINGAPORE \u2013 A maid tasked to care for a 97-year-old woman photographed the latter naked and shared the picture with her own husband.<\/p>\n
On Jan 6, the 34-year-old Indonesian woman, who cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the victim\u2019s identity, was sentenced to seven months\u2019 jail.<\/p>\n
She had pleaded guilty in December 2025 to one count each of voyeurism and distributing the voyeuristic image.<\/p>\n
Deputy Public Prosecutor Hidayat Amir said that the victim\u2019s 60-year-old son, identified in court documents as C1, was the maid\u2019s employer at the time of the offences.<\/p>\n
His mother needed help with her daily activities and the maid was tasked to care for the woman.<\/p>\n
The maid and the victim were in a bathroom of a Serangoon North flat at around 9am on July 24, 2025, when the maid snapped a picture of the latter.<\/p>\n
The elderly woman\u2019s face and chest area were visible in the picture, the court heard.<\/p>\n
The maid later sent it to her own husband in Indonesia via WhatsApp before deleting the message.<\/p>\n
The DPP said that on Sept 11 and 12, 2025, C1\u2019s wife received multiple messages from either the maid or the maid\u2019s husband from different numbers.<\/p>\n
Three of the messages showed the victim\u2019s picture.<\/p>\n
One of them stated that the sender hoped the maid could return to Indonesia, while another message said: \u201cMaybe you are not interested, but I will spam your number every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Sept 12, 2025, the wife alerted C1, who lodged a police report later that day.<\/p>\n
The maid was arrested soon after.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
